Ivory practiced on a very limited basis this week, but won't be available to suit up for his regular backup running back role. While LeSean McCoy should be ready to take on his regular workload, it will be Marcus Murphy backing him up Sunday afternoon.

Ivory (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's road game versus the Jets.

After sitting out Wednesday's session, Ivory wore a non-contact jersey Thursday and Friday, earning a "limited" tag both days. There's seems to be a chance Ivory will suit up Week 10, a call that will be made by the release of the Bills' inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff. If Ivory ultimately is ruled out, Marcus Murphy will serve as the preferred backup to starting running back LeSean McCoy.

Ivory (shoulder) continued to sport a non-contact jersey at Friday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

The running back will be limited during Friday's session, so we'd expect him to be listed as questionable, at best, for Sunday's game against the Jets. If he's out or limited at all this weekend, Marcus Murphy would be in line for added snaps behind Buffalo's top back, LeSean McCoy.

According to Chris Brown of the Bills' official site, Ivory was donning a red no-contact jersey during the session, which likely contributed to him drawing the limited tag. Even so, it's still a step forward for Ivory, who was deemed a non-participant Wednesday in the Bills' first practice of the week. He'll look to upgrade his activity Friday to clear up any concern about his status for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Ivory (shoulder) was sporting a red (non-contact) jersey at Thursday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

We'll have to see if the Bills list Ivory as a limited or non-participant Thursday, but the fact that contact is still off limits at this stage suggests that he's not a lock to play Sunday against the Jets. If Ivory is out or limited this weekend, Marcus Murphy would be in line for added snaps behind starter LeSean McCoy.
